It began with the image of a capstan. A mechanical devise comprised of a large drum on the vertical axis, hand-operated by the winch, wrapping around the drum with a rope or chain.
From this action a force is derived to move other mechanisms. From this simple idea the Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical was born.
Capstans are used for winding the movement and setting the time. A miniature fusée and chain transmits the energy. A vertical tourbillon regulates the movement. Drums display the time. And a small winch handle concealed in the deployant buckle activates the mechanisms. All perfectly and stunningly visible under twin sapphire crystals that provide a spectacular 180° view of the movement.
